Rockfax Description
One of the better lines in the valley. Follow the steep leftwards-trending flake/crack, past a thread and peg, to jugs. Launch up the groove which soon eases until a traverse left can be made to good small wires in a curving overlap. Climb to the lower-off past a small knobbly ledge and flake above. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
One of the better lines in the Valley with good rock and protection. Follow the steep leftwards-trending flake/crack, past a thread and peg, to flake-jugs at the base of a slanting groove. Launch up the groove which soon eases and a traverse left can be made to good small wires in a curving overlap. Climb to the lower off past a small knobbly ledge and flake above.
